First of all- any game that features the word "smushify" deserves the highest praise!
But seriously- I like how the game was filled with funny design- the animations of the protagonist, the fish design, the fact you build new rods out of the fish! Loved it all! The gameplay itself also fit this. It was fun to catch fish. You could only smushify two types at the time (it would be really easy to overcomplicate it, but you didn't- kudos). The progress was easily seen, and the difficulty was ramping up at a nice, chill pace.
As for the theme... well, I did not think of fish when I found out the theme was "everything is a resource", but you made it work.
Over all- one of the most fun games I played in this jam so far! Keep up the good work!
